Bridge/Jumbo Index Issue (5 Viewers)

I think it's Italian for "trash this box as much as possible".
 
Anyone receive cards in Canada yet? I thought I saw somewhere that playing cards were included in the new trade tariffs.

@desjgn ,

Received my reprinted cards yesterday. Thank you for everything. I can't imaging the stress and anxiety this project has put you through for the past year. There aren't enough words to express how well you have handle this entire incident. (y) :thumbsup:(y) :thumbsup:(y) :thumbsup:

Jason, you truly showed your class while dealing with the incredible dumpster fire that is @#$&ano :mad:

I will be a Desjgn customer for life.



and one more time for old time sake....... F' you @#$&ano :mad::rage::poop:
 
Got my replacements today.

Very nice cards, and exactly as advertised (high quality, readable, nice design), but I'm going to be the first to say that the replacements tactile quality are secondary to the M:poop:dian:poop: feel.

I will take "unmarked" over butter-soft any day, but there is a notable difference.
 
This might be just the right nudge to check if Fournier will do any bigger custom print orders.
Given the apparently horrible availability of Fournier cards in the US, this could be a big moneymaker.

I need to do some research as I do like how Fournier cards feel. I have just a couple more reprint decks to ship out and then take a bit of a break. I may fly and meet with the USPC to see about Fournier or research plastics in general.

It has been a never-ending opinion on smooth vs. textured feel with cards. I hope to one day find that balance, but I know very well that it is impossible to please everyone. I am glad that you and others received the reprinted decks. Hopefully people can finally have a good game with these.
 
Got mine as well. I like them just great but as @Poker Zombie said the feel of the marked cards was better. I look forward to any new offering you have. This whole saga has gained you one more life time customer. Well played sir. (y) :thumbsup:

Thank you and to all of you for all the support. I am still floored and grateful that so many pitched in to the donation led by @justsomedude. My goal this week was to get every last replacement deck out in the mail and have just a couple left to do so hopefully this project can now be finished.

To those in Canada, I know it isn’t my fault, but I am sorry that the current state of affairs levies a tariff now on playing cards where you have to pay a little bit extra in order to receive these replacements.
 
Without opening the wrapper and touching the cards, is there any way to tell the difference between the old and new cards?

Old cards came in a box, new cards did not.

I know. I am asking if they are side by side, can the old and new be distinguished in any way without opening the wrapper?
 
Negative. New cards on the top, old on the bottom. No way to tell which is which. Colors are identical, faces also identical. (Donate all your old ones - send them to me and I'll include them with my next Cigars for the Troops shipment.)

Will do.

I may have mixed up a few decks inadvertently and trying to figure this thing out :eek:
 
Mine arrived yesterday and were a bonus birthday present! At @justsomedude 's last game we had 3 tables with these new cards, Gemaco Superflex, and KEMs. The Desjgns were my favorite of the group! I like the feel of the replacements a lot too. And they look fantastic.

Before the game, JSD asked if he should put the Faded Spade cards in play. I replied, "You should put them in the garbage!" Luckily they did not see the felt.

Everyone really liked them and a few players made a point to ask me what kind of cards they were. Always happy to promote for @desjgn !!

Happy Birthday!!

Yeah the Design cards are nice. Gonna break them out on Friday night.
 
Guested my Desjgn CC's last weekend instead of playing with the hosts Copags. Lots of positive comments, except they wanted jumbo index. Looking forward to a few setups of these!

Right, of course not. But if you're keeping track of feedback, not only do these new cards lack the texture that the others had, they're noticeably stiffer. I'm not interested in cards this stiff and slick, so I might have to stock up on the Victorians or the Casinos, because that stock is glorious.
Great customer service - I appreciate all your efforts and your openness throughout the process.
